I am a 3rd-year student at Sarvinoz Khasan’s daughter Bukhara State Medical Institute. I have been interested in the field of medicine since I was young. I am currently the winner of the “Student of the Year” award. During my student days, I developed a strong interest in scientific research and the culture and art of other countries. I became interested in the world. As a result of my many researches, I found out that the Turkic countries are different from others with their customs. The interest in the Turkic world made me travel the world.
I participated on behalf of Uzbekistan at the international conference held in Azerbaijan in February 2024. We got to know the culture and education direction of Azerbaijan closely. we visited educational institutions. For a week I was a guest in such beautiful and unique cities as Baku and Quba. The art and culture of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan are similar to each other.
The international conference and the presentation of the book went very well. I also participated with my creative work and was awarded. It was hosted by scientists, professors and teachers. The people of Azerbaijan expressed warm thoughts about Uzbekistan. It was also different from others with the delicacy of its dishes. I liked the Azerbaijani national dances and costumes the most.
We returned to Uzbekistan with many such warm thoughts. In conclusion, I can say that traveling the world in pursuit of knowledge and learning the culture and customs of other peoples is of great interest to this person. My peers and young people, always keep moving and searching.
We’re all an archeologist digging through our holy waste. We’re all an archeologist in urgent search of one high missing piece.
Now you’re uncovered under my spotlight;
I maneuver each little potsherd, trying to put your life complete.
So why do you still resist?
Bring me into your days,
oh bring me into your ways,
your arms, your dreams, your thoughts, your schemes.
Bring me, oh bring me deep into your crotch.
After such tender words as these, how can you still resist?
Any poet’s a privileged beast, main course at the culture feast. Every poet’s a privileged beast, society’s sacrificial priest.
And I’m your private cosmic messenger, and — every word like legal tender –
I’m poetry’s last big spender!
You cease, but yet I persist.
Bring me into your days, oh bring me into your ways, your arms,
your dreams, your thoughts, your schemes. Bring me, oh bring me deep into your crotch.
And oh, such tender words as these! How oh how you do resist.
UNKNOTTED
Far off we see those bright quasars
captured by their own black holes,
their old buds dying inside,
hopes fettered to fears,
guards shackled to their convicts.
We’re soft diamonds under iron skies.
Lovers of the youth earth’s noises,
but raised in cold and shady nations
where light is unknotted from the sun,
we end here in ancient silence.
AND, DO YOU STILL GO BY BEATICE?
So, you want to be immortal, is that what you say?
You’ve searched and you’ve lurched down that old Tao way? But you won’t need that potion, and you don’t need to pray: Just sublimate some poet to put you in his lay.
He’ll sonnet/sanit/ize you, fix you in his line to stay. Your locks of jet: they’ll turn to gray, your bones metastasize into clay– but you’ll still be fresh and vital a million years away.
Just convince a versifier your name’s good for a lay.

This scientific article provides information on the advantages of smart technologies.
Due to the increasing role of information technologies in the life of society in Uzbekistan, rapid informatization and computerization of the education sector is being observed. Advanced systems and innovative technologies aimed at raising the quality of education to a new level are being actively introduced.
The Smart Education social project, created in cooperation with the Center for Vocational Education, is the newest system for assessing the level of mastery for educational institutions. Created for teachers and administrators, this tool is an innovative development aimed at simplifying daily paperwork. The system allows to increase the transparency of the educational process by automating the educational process and related document circulation, informing parents. Today, more than 400 colleges and lyceums are connected to the Smart Education system throughout Uzbekistan in test mode.
According to the results of the 2016-2017 academic year, the first place in the rating of colleges and lyceums actively implementing the Smart Education system in the educational process was taken by the Chirchik Academic Lyceum under the Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology.
The head of the Lyceum of the Smart Education project, K.A. Roziyev and computer science teacher B.A. Akhmedov for his active cooperation and demonstrated organizational initiative.
Sehriyo School, 5th Academic Lyceum under Tashkent State Technical University, Republican Olympic Reserve College, Zangiota Academic Lyceum are actively participating in the implementation and development of the Smart Education system.
METHODOLOGY
Smart education implies a large number of sources, the maximum variety of multimedia (audio, video, graphics), the ability to quickly and easily adapt to the demands and needs of the audience [2]. This is a completely new educational environment in which educational activities are carried out on the Internet based on common standards, technologies and agreements between a network of educational institutions, and common content is used. A distinctive feature of this type of education is the convenience for all sections of the population, regardless of the place of residence and financial situation, that is, the opportunity to receive education “everywhere” [3].
According to Z. K. Bekturova, N. N. Vagapova, a number of important factors are necessary to create a smart educational environment. They include: learning through innovative methods using new knowledge and technologies; convergence of technologies, optimization of educational conditions; includes such things as automatic adaptation to individual learning goals, existing knowledge and skills, and social environment [3].
A smart environment for students is an individual educational environment for each student, practical orientation, independence in the development of knowledge, skills and abilities – all factors that allow successful adaptation to the social environment; smart, interdisciplinary, student-oriented educational systems of continuous education (school, university, corporate training); customized training programs, portfolio; collaborative learning technologies; automation of a large number of routine functions; can be expressed by involving practitioners in the educational process
ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
With the emergence of the concept of “smart” concepts such as smart/interactive-board (writing board), smart-screens, and access to the Internet from anywhere have entered the education system. Each of these concepts allows us to restructure the process of information content development, delivery, and implementation [4].
It is impossible to implement the concept of smart education without the accumulated experience of electronic education (e-learning). At the core of the smart-education process are the achievements of information technologies, electronic and distance education, valuable experiences gained over the years. The main task of smart-education technologies is to create conditions for students and teachers to achieve new efficiency in the educational process. Application of this type of educational technology requires a comprehensive approach. The development of the concept of smart education is the development of a new technological paradigm in the world.
